Famous quotes containing the word years:

—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 23:10,11.
“The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognised as love at all.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
